There are probably several ways, but the way I do it is: Near the top, after your version statement, add a \paper block:
\version "2.18.2" \paper { system-system-spacing #'padding = #2 } \new Staff.... Adjust the value 2 to a value of your liking. Another option is to let Lilypond auto-space the systems on the page to fill the page. To do this, use this paper block instead of the one above: \paper { ragged-last-bottom = ##f } HTH, Jim On Thu, Nov 06, 2014 at 08:43:29PM -0600, Chris Trahan wrote: > I'm new to Lilypond.
